Doing this as part of the api-review-gen process would complicate an
already brittle process, but it might be possible to write a gerrit
script that would, in similar manner to the inanity 'bot, scan these
reviews and post links to docs.qt.io for the new API or, perhaps more
valuably, determine whether there *are* docs there and post comments on
the review if not.  That would decouple the doc-posting from the scripts
that generate the reviews.

We should also consider coaxing the inanity 'bot and API-change 'bot
into recognising the API change reviews (they have a recognisable first
line of commit message pattern) and not spamming them with
irrelevancies.
